Halle Berry Rejoins Movie Cast

Only hours after going to court with her daughter Nahla's father, Gabriel Aubry, news breaks that Halle Berry will now rejoin the cast of New Year's Eve, a film she had recently pulled out of.

A rep for New Line and a rep for Berry both tell ET that the actress will indeed have a role in New Year's Eve, though it will be a different role than her original part, which was taken over by Katherine Heigl.

Back in January, Berry reportedly gave up her original role in the film in order to be available for litigation regarding a custody battle over Nahla.

Only hours after going to court with her daughter Nahla's father, Gabriel Aubry, news breaks that Halle Berry will now rejoin the cast of 'New Year's Eve,' a film she had recently pulled out of.

Berry met in a Los Angeles Superior courtroom Wednesday to discuss custody issues with Aubry, a source tells ET. Aubry filed papers Tuesday in the same court to dismiss the custody case where he wanted to be legally recognized as the father of the young girl. Berry and Aubry were in a heated dispute earlier this month amid reports of angry emails, text messages, voicemails and an ugly accusation of racism.
